Yeah! Maylynn is now an official "ladybug" at church. Ladybug is what the 2-3yr old group is called:)
Tuesday morning i took the girls to the club and left them at the "short stop" daycare while i did my kick boxing class (love the class!) This was a "first" for Maylynn to be left with anyone that is not related - she walked right in to play with her big sis and then cried after i said a quick goodbye. But I'm told that she only cried for 5 min - i felt good about the whole situation b/c she had Hayleigh with her:)
So, Wed. night - we/i decided that we should try the church nursery. Hayleigh is not in her class - so i was a bit hesitant but felt that it needed to be done. So, we both went in, i stayed a few minutes to explain to the teachers her language (or lack there of), that she's potty trained and what she calls it (most of the time it is neow, neow (Chinese for potty) but sometimes she says "motty" (English for potty))and that she likes men (a hint for the guy to help out with her;)). I told her good bye and tried to leave - she caught me in an amazing grabbing, fist clinching hold - i hugged her and told her that I'd be back - and the teachers helped to pry her off. I felt HORRIBLE -but i know it is a process and our church life will be so much more pleasant for everyone once she is in her class. After the worship, i snuck back to hear if she was okay and she was. She was so excited to see me at the end - it looked like she had a really good time - i do have to admit she gave me so many kisses that night all over my face when i was putting her to bed - i was amazed but LOVING it! I just let her kiss away...
Please pray that the process is successful on Sunday:)
